Pioneering Swedish melodic death metal outfit At The Gates have newly released an animated film to accompany their latest release “The Ghost Of A Future Past“. That record arrived this past April as a posthumous release for the band’s late frontman Tomas “Tompa” Lindberg. Sadly, Lindberg passed away in September of 2025 following a valiant battle with cancer.
Costin Chioreanu (Katatonia, Blackbraid) was tasked with bringing this visual storyline to life for the record and said of the experience:
“This is by far the most intense project I’ve done, not only due the circumstances but also because the album is so intense and it requires an insane rhythm for the whole dynamic. It is also the first time that I am doing a full album art video and, honestly, I think it will remain singular of this kind in my career, as I’ve been over several of my limits with this one. But I am so happy that I could finish this monument for my friend Tomas and for his magical band, who will remain with my heart and my memory till the end of my time here and beyond.”
